1. What do you mean by "Mozilla"? The standalone Mozilla browser has been
deprecated in favour of Firefox, which is now at version 6.0. There's also
Seamonkey. What are you using?

2. What do you mean by "Linux (Red Hat)"? Fedora? CentOS? Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL)? The old Red Hat Linux? What?

3. Are you interested in the source tar ball or in a binary package? Please
look into your distribution's repositories for binary packages.

If you're interested in the sources, see:

People refer to "Mozilla Firefox" just in short "Mozilla".

They all have own software repositories, where they have a copy of pidgin.
It is just, that they did not yet update to pidgin version 2.10.0 but
have the older 2.9.0. (judgung by the web page

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/applications/Pidgin%20Internet%20Messenger?_csrf_token=4b04ff271344f28b015318808857a1ed2da905c7


So the solution is to wait until RedHat gets the new version, when it wil 
probably be automatically updated on your PC.

David
